For now, this page is mostly a placeholder.

I use tmux to spawn multiple shell sessions while I work.
On my servers, I keep a tmux session running so that I can attach to it to
continue working where I stopped.

My tmux configuration file is [available on GitHub][conf].

Besides working in tmux, I make use of tmux in a [shell script][keep] that runs
as a cron job.
The script just opens and quits Vim and Mutt in a tmux session; the cron job
runs every minute to keep Vim and Mutt in memory.
